FieldWorks

3 Projects

FieldWorks has helped to generate millions of phone calls, knocked on millions of doors, collected petition signatures from millions of citizens, and registered hundred of thousands of voters that have helped campaigns WIN!

Whether it’s an advocacy campaign, a ballot initiative to qualify or defeat, a neighborhood-by-neighborhood political battle, an online to offline strategy, or a long-term image-building plan, FieldWorks delivers results with a simple philosophy: Identify who needs to be persuaded and communicate with them directly in the most effective way possible.

FieldWorks APIs

November, 2023 ~ Present
API for Web App Dashboard for scheduling, dispatching and tracking campaigns
  • Maintained Django APIs and MySQL db powering ~150 write requests / second (+ EventBridge triggers after insert) - when hundreds of offline apps resync at once; with worker pool via Lambda auto-scaling. Images uploaded to S3 synchronously with 3 staggered retries.
  • Built a server-side pipeline that turns campaign form templates into on-device redaction descriptors (SIFT keypoints + field geometry), so canvassers’ phones can redact PII and verify fields are filled out.
  • Optimized SQL queries and aggregation endpoints for analytics dashboard, doubling data output while maintaining speed and adding search filters.
  • Centralized logging through Firebase and wrote BigQuery monitoring to compare with SQL data for integrity and usage.

November, 2023 ~ Present
Web App Dashboard for scheduling, dispatching and tracking campaigns
  • Developed real-time canvasser tracking interface with MapBox and ReactJS, synchronizing map pins/popups and sidebar elements for seamless navigation. Programmed filter operations to recenter map boundaries with dynamic debounce based on filter in use. Built map to render any combination of layers including points for canvassers, lines for routes, and polygons for coverage area.
  • Enhanced SASS implementation with mixins and reusable style patterns. Created modular components styled from a single classname styling, as well as composable utility classes to normalize spacing and typography while maintaining DRY principles and reducing CSS bloat.
  • Restructured Redux implementation to flattening deeply nested data structures, enabling targeted updates and reducing component render cycles across decoupled components.
  • Wrote responsive Data Grid component to render tables using Flexbox with hooks to customize any header or body cell's styles and click / hover events. Supported both client or server side sorting, pagination, and toggling visibility of any column. Wrote NodeJS script to preprocess API response schemas to ease client side table and list displays with custom property names and easier data aggregations baesd on data types (numeric, dates, enums).

August, 2023 ~ Present
Canvassing mobile API and Web App Dashboard for scheduling, dispatching and tracking campaigns for dispatching and tracking in-person canvass and survey collections.
  • Built offline-first iOS and Android apps for 1200 canvassers nationwide to run Site and Door to Door campaigns following scripted intake forms.
  • Shipped a C++ OpenCV native module (iOS + Android) that registers camera photos to the form, redacts PII fields, validates required signatures via ink detection based on pre-trained differentiation threshold - all before upload, entirely clientside, offline.
  • Built components for background audio recording, live voter lookup registration, QR / barcode / document scanning, signatures and more.
  • Battery / Memory Optimization: tuned background location tracking around device speed / distance, improved Redux state management to reduce render cycles, merged dependencies to reduce APK size by 67%
